The 32-seater's look evokes post-industrial '20s and '30s. Two beer taps are set in the dining room - small-batch crafts - plus 12 to 20 bottles. Artisan wines (about 40 bottles and 10 by the glass) will include an enviable champagne selection as well as after-dinner ports, sherries and the like.

Exec chef Robert Marzinsky has worked as chef de cuisine at Pub & Kitchen and The Diving Horse, and more recently assisted with the opening of Stateside on East Passyunk.
